"Perfect" deer caliber/rifle...lol......

[Hi Ball]

ANDY L..........Well, I reckon you took the words right out of my mouth sir! Yep, that old lever gun I would be willing to bet my truck, has taken more deer in the USA & Canada than any caliber that is or was in existence today. Ummmmm sure makes a fellow wonder why all the need for big mags and tons or smack down energy ya think.

Now on the other side of the spectrum is the little caliber called the .243 Winchester, that many seem to believe is NOT a very good thing to have in hand for harvesting whitetail deer. Most that say that, I would give 6 to 1 odds ain't never hunted with one for deer or shot a deer. Tarnations, I got a brother in law who used to kill elk with one, along with mule deer don't cha know.

Truth to the matter is this Andy L, darn near any caliber today from the .243 Winny on up the scale is a good deer gun. It never has been the calibers fault of not bringing the venison home to the freezer. Hunters who can't shoot or don't know squat for bullet selection is my theory of their demise in the woods.

NO my wood haulin truck ain't fer sale either!
